Another Tiny Finish and Christmas Stitching

I finished up my Nov. Flip-it Bit today...

Now that all my fall stitching is done I have been getting my Christmas stitching in order. I have quite a few projects I'd like to get finished before then. I figure if I devote a week or less to each one then I think I can do it! First, I'd like to get my Flip-It Bit banner finished by getting "A bit of December" stitched.

Next I would like to finished up my other Lizzie Kate Project "Christmas is Forever."

I would also like to finish CCN "Peppermint Lane." Oops! I forgot to post that I had started this last month too. I went through a little closet startitis phase. :)

I'm stitching it on 32 ct. Maple Sugar. I only stitched a little bit and then thought I would put it away until Dec. I would also like to stitch this little freebie ornament by Blue Ribbon Designs called "A Star on Top."

Last, but not least, if I have time after all this I would like stitch "Christmas Tea" by Plum Street Samplers. I was going to stitch it last year, but ran out of time.

Do you think I can do it?? Maybe?? Write soon!

Just a little stitching...

I started on February the other day. I don't have much to show, just the border...





Thank you all for your kind comments. They mean to so much to me! :) Here's the latest picture of my niece...





She's so sweet! I think I'm going to go see her today. I've waited long enough, but now I've got to hold her! :) Since I started so many new projects I've got to get organized. I've got to get a rotation of some sort going. Something I need to think about! Write later (and hopefully have more pics of Halle). :)

A teeny tiny finish

I finished up my January Flip-It Stamp last night. I think it's pretty cute. :)





I started on February today. This is going to be a quick update because I have to get my ds from school! I will leave you with this picture of Matthew...





He's starting to sit up! He's also starting to rock on his knees and hands, he'll be taking off soon! He's doing it all at once. I can't believe he's going to be seven months old on the 19th. It's goes too fast! :) Write later!

Confession Time...

Remember when I said please don’t let me start a new project because I knew I was just so antsy about the baby coming?? Well, I did. I couldn’t help myself. And I went out to Michael’s the night before she was born to get a piece of linen to stitch it on because all the linen I have was not right for it. I started this...


Mirabilia’s The Petal Fairy

I haven’t done a big Angel or Fairy in ages... I don’t know what drew me to this one. I guess I had seen a lot of them stitched and just thought she was pretty. So we’ll see if I can stick with it! Those darn babies.. the things they make me do (or start). Since I’m determined to finish something (even if it’s small) I stitched on my little January Flip-It today...


Lizzie Kate’s January Flip-It Stamp

I also stopped by Michael’s today with my handy dandy 40% off coupon. I got a scroll rod set and got $28 off. Not too shabby!


E-Z Stitch Needlework Frame Set

And I got the latest Cross Stitch & Needlework because it had this really pretty sampler in it...


Sarah Pownall’s 1852 Sampler

Well, I had lunch with my brother today. He said he spent a lot of time holding the baby last night. He said she would not sleep in her bassinet, and I told him I could relate! Matthew didn’t like to sleep in his either until he was about four weeks. I just talked to my SIL, she seems to be doing fine, and appreciated that I got everything ready for her. I just feel for her because I know what she's going through! Well, not much else! I didn't stitch last night - just went right to bed, I think I'll stitch tonight though! :)

Laziness...

I recently got a router, so now I can go online using my laptop anywhere in the house. I think my favorite place is in bed. I can stitch, watch T.V. and read my blogs while lounging on my feather pillows and snuggled under the blankets. It's luxury!





Just ignore the messy bed! :) After I finished up "A Bit of January" yesterday I decided to get back out the Flip-It Stamps I started over one last October. I counted up and restarted with January, which is what I'm stitching in the above picture. I was thinking about it today and it came to me that I most likely counted wrong, so I recounted and sure enough I was off by one stitch. Argh, how frustrating! Oh well, it will just be off by one stitch... there's no way I'm going to rip it out, especially since it's over one. Here's a close up...





I don't know why I love these little monthly designs so much. I guess I just like their cutsyness. My tastes vary so much. Well, not much else going on. Write later! :)

Great Find!

I walked into The Crafty Framer the other day and this caught my eye right away...











It's a photo album by Indigo Rose called Remember Me. I got it down off the shelf and saw that is was $29, I thought that was a good deal, and then I turned it around and it was 1/2 off! I couldn't believe my luck! I think it's so pretty! I had forgotten what a cute shop The Crafty Framer is. It's really tiny, but they've got it set up cute. I went in there looking for February for my Lizzie Kate Flip-it Bits banner. Unfortunately they didn't have it, but my great find made up for it! Anyway, here is my progress on January...





I like the idea Carrie had about getting a SAL together for this one! Anyone else interested??
